Our speakers Hanna Pajala-Assefa, Jan Schacher, and Vincent Roumagnac explore the entanglements between humans, machines and environments through their presentations and a conversation moderated by Nitin Sawhney. The talk was held at University of the Arts Helsinki on October 23rd from 13:00 โ 14:30.

๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐๐ซ is an artist-researcher and educator performing on stage and other environments, working with and through sound, body, and presence.ย In his practice, he investigates how the musicianโs body establishes and grounds the intertwined relationship between perception, musical actions, and the intangible presence of sound.
๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ is a Basque-French artist and researcher based in Helsinki devising artistic responses to climate urgency and technological advancements.ย His artworks, which merge visual, installation, and performing arts, are rooted in intervention and site-sensitive genealogies and ecologies.
Join our three presenters as they explore:
* Performative practices featuring systems that have autonomy in decision-making.
* Resonant, community-driven performances through digital choreography and emergent performance with digital systems.
* Techno-ecodramaturgical practices that stage other-than-human and biospheric agencies as co-performers and reimagine theatre as an ecological milieu that problematizes categories of nature and artifice.
